Residents of Abesan Estate in the Ipaja area of Lagos have been thrown
into confusion after a man, Nelson Oamen, was said to have stabbed his
father, Ehiremen Oamen, to death during an altercation.

According to PUNCH, Nelson who reportedly fled his father’s apartment in
Block 272 after the incident on Friday, removed the septuagenarian’s
heart and left with it.

It was gathered that the father, said to be a retired worker in a
company in Apapa, was battling with stroke, and usually remained
indoors.

Oamens, who hailed from Edo State, is now on the run...
PUNCH learnt that 34-year-old Nelson, who did not have a stable job, was
reportedly a drug addict, and had had violent clashes with people in
the area which were reported to the police.

Our correspondent learnt that at about 2pm on Friday, Nelson had gone to
his father’s apartment and an argument had ensued between the two.

Nelson, who was suspected to be high on drugs, allegedly stabbed his
father to death in his bedroom, and covered his body with a blanket.

He was said to have sneaked out of the house and had yet to be found.

Nelson’s younger sister, who did not want her name in print, reportedly
came into the house a few minutes later, and found traces of blood in
the family’s sitting room.

She was said to have discovered their fater’s corpse on his bed, after which she raised the alarm.

It was gathered that some neighbours and residents, who also rushed to
the room to see Ehiremen, realised that there was a deep hole on the
left side of his chest after he had been stabbed in several places.

It was said that Nelson allegedly escaped with his father’s heart, which
the residents claimed, was responsible for the bloodstains in the
sitting room.

The matter has been reported at the Ipaja Police Division.

Nelson’s elder sister, who came from Abeokuta, Ogun State, and also did
not want her name in print, said the family could not say what caused
the argument between her father and Nelson.

She added that Ehiremen had been physically attacked by Nelson in the past.

She said, “For about five years now, dad had been nursing a stroke, and
he could not work again. So, he used to stay at home. Nelson did not
have a stable location. He just came to the area on Friday.

“I was told that he came in through the window before committing the
act. It was his younger sister, who has a shop in the area, and came in a
few minutes later to change her clothes, who first observed bloodstains
in the sitting room.

“She then traced the bloodstains to daddy’s room, and found out that he
had been killed. We have not seen any sign of Nelson since then.”

Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Joe Offor, said the police were on the trail of Nelson and would soon get him.
